“Young Master Zhou, I heard from Si Cong earlier that you wanted to talk toabout something. I wonder what it is.”
Zhou Chao couldn’t help but inwardly chuckle at this. He had thought that Wang Jianlin would remain calm and not ask directly, but when impatience struck, there was no holding back. Nonetheless, Zhou Chao understood. After the drastic measures taken by Yida for survival, their assets had been reduced by more than half. Most likely, they wanted to hop on the fast-moving train of development under his wing.
“It’s actually nothing major. I simply want to entrust the management of our group’s charity company and the projects like Hope Primary Schools and playgrounds under the charity foundation to you in the future. After all, we are all part of the sfamily, and I trust you to ensure quality.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, both Wang Jianlin and Zhang Liang were instantly intrigued. They knew that just the Hope Primary Schools project under Zhou’s charity company this year amounted to nearly 1000 schools, not to mention various playgrounds in certain regions. And this didn’t include the upcoming foundation, which would undoubtedly double the current count.
Though the number of Hope Primary Schools seemed substantial, the actual cost wasn’t high. It varied based on the region, usually around a few hundred thousand. After all, remote areas didn’t have as many students, and constructing large schools there would be futile.
Zhou Chao took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued, “Although these projects may not bring in substantial profits, the intangible benefits are undeniable.”
The two men nodded in agreement. If their families were to manage these projects, the returns would far surpass mere monetary gains.
The Hope Primary Schools projects were a fantastic opportunity for everyone involved. In today’s real estate landscape, having a stellar reputation is key. Particularly in smaller cities and towns, this was a chance they couldn’t afford to miss. By earning goodwill with local governments through these projects, they could pave the way for smooth expansions in the future. With proper execution, the potential for profits down the road was limitless!
Moreover, with Yida recently offloading all its debts and urgently needing to recover, how could they possibly refuse the benefits Zhou Chao was offering on a silver platter?
“Young Master Zhou, there’s no need for excessive gratitude. If you ever need anything in the future, just givea call directly. And if you don’t mind, let Si Cong accompany you to learn a few things,” Wang Jianlin added. As a former military man, he was straightforward in his dealings, never beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Si Cong was utterly confused. “So, Dad wantsto be Young Master Zhou’s lackey? I mean, I wouldn’t mind, but does he even need one?”
Zhou Chao chuckled. “Director Wang, you’re overthinking it. Si Cong and I get along fine, and with this foundation, we’re practically family.”
“Yeah, Lao Wang, you need to broaden your horizons a bit more.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNeither Zhang Liang nor Wang Jianlin were fools; they understood Zhou Chao’s implication. Essentially, he was roping them in, and they were willingly stepping onto the ship. It was a formal declaration.
What puzzled Wang Jianlin, however, was why Zhang Liang had agreed so quickly. Did Zhou Chao have sundisclosed leverage?
“Haha, you’re right, I was being too uptight. We’ll need your assistance in the future,” Wang Jianlin said, lifting his teacup and downing it in one gulp. It was a clear indication of his stance. After all, where else could one find such a good deal — reaping benefits without putting in much effort?
After this incident, the atmosphere among the three becmore harmonious, with Si Cong even chiming in occasionally.
“It’s getting late. How about I treat you all to dinner tonight as a welcgesture to Director Wang in Modu?” Zhang Liang suggested to Zhou Chao and the others.
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before agreeing, “Sure, you guys go ahead and pick a place. I’ll join you later.”
With that, Zhang Liang provided Zhou Chao with the location before departing the villa with the other two..
